2013 in Review

The clock is ticking on 2013…We are ready to ring in a new year, and have big plans for 2014! Still, I am thankful for this past year, as it is the barrier between 2012, a year that I had been ready to see in my rear view mirror. While 2013 certainly handed out its …

Meeting Baby Rogan
